“A search for meaning brought to glorious life by a puppet…The marvel of Michael K’s story is that he finds beauty and contentment in the midst of tragedy, oppression, and injustice.” — Stage & Cinema

“ArtsEmerson’s Latest Must-See Marvel….’Must see’ hardly does it justice; this is a groundbreaking pilgrimage into the multisensorial world of out-of-the-box theater….It’s hard to describe the enchantment of such artistry and skill.” — Theater Mirror
